JOURNEY'S END FOR THE CITROEN-IIAARDT TRANS-ASIATIC EXPEDITION
Although Tientsin gave the explorers a royal welcome a few days later, the climax of more
than ten months of effort was the arrival in Peiping, where foreigners and Chinese alike acclaimed
the explorers and showered them with honors. The same nine cars had left Peiping in April,
1931. For four of them it had been a 6,ooo-mile trip, heavily overloaded and in low gear. In the
distance looms the northwest gate of the Tatar wall.
